Flights to Craik, Saskatchewan from NT$6,415

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Craik could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

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 enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Craik, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
