Flights to Teslin, Yukon from NT$7,302

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your vacation in Teslin.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Teslin in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
