Flights to Cardigan, Prince Edward Island from NT$6,574

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

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Cardigan easy and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
