Flights to Spry Bay, Nova Scotia from NT$17,725

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Spry Bay in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Spry Bay a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new 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, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
