Flights to Port Medway, Nova Scotia from NT$13,866

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Port Medway escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Port Medway in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
