Flights to St. Marys, Newfoundland and Labrador from NT$40,453

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to St. Marys could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to St. Marys quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• 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 in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
