Flights to Spruce Grove, Edmonton from NT$2,122

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Spruce Grove in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Spruce Grove, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
