Flights to Saint-Eugène, Quebec from NT$6,168

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Saint-Eugène. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Saint-Eugène a pleasure. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
