Flights to Glen Margaret, Nova Scotia from NT$34,135

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Glen Margaret.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Glen Margaret a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
