Flights to Conestogo, Kitchener from NT$7,003

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Conestogo escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Conestogo a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. 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 through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
