Flights to Bobcaygeon, Trent Lakes from NT$8,868

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Bobcaygeon escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Bobcaygeon quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? 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, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
