Flights to Almonte, Mississippi Mills from NT$34,971

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Almonte escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Almonte easy and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky 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 soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. 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 permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
