Flights to Duncan, British Columbia from NT$10,240

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Duncan could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach 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:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Duncan in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
