Flights to Wasaga Beach, Ontario from NT$9,004

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Wasaga Beach escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travelers are aware of 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 do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Wasaga Beach, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
