Flights to Caroline, Alberta from NT$2,126

If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Caroline. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Caroline before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
