Flights to Indian Brook, Nova Scotia from NT$37,926

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Indian Brook vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Indian Brook, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
