Flights to Brooks, Alberta from NT$27,538

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Brooks could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy --- first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Brooks quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
