Flights to Entrelacs, Quebec from NT$4,032

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Entrelacs vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, 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:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Entrelacs before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
