Flights to Seabright, Nova Scotia from NT$7,206

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

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Seabright in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
