Flights to Oxford, Nova Scotia from NT$8,158

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Oxford could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Oxford a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often 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-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
