Flights to Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix, Quebec from NT$33,601

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
