Flights to Dorchester, New Brunswick from NT$12,876

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your vacation in Dorchester. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Dorchester, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
