Flights to Rosemere, Montreal from NT$5,561

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Rosemere escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, 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. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rosemere in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
