Flights to New Tecumseth, Ontario from NT$8,816

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your New Tecumseth vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to New Tecumseth a breeze. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
