Flights to Fraser, British Columbia from NT$9,095

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Fraser vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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 trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Fraser a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise 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.
