Flights to Berthierville, Quebec from NT$5,204

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Berthierville could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Berthierville in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
