Flights to Terrebonne, Montreal from NT$8,242

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Terrebonne vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Terrebonne in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. 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 on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
