Flights to South Brookfield, Nova Scotia from NT$8,158

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your South Brookfield vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel 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:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to South Brookfield easy and painless. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often 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-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
