Flights to Spray Valley Provincial Park, Alberta from NT$2,006

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Spray Valley Provincial Park vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Spray Valley Provincial Park, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
