Flights to Québec City, Quebec from NT$30,545

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Québec City vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, 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 narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• 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 lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Québec City easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
