Flights to Killiney Beach, British Columbia from NT$5,364

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Killiney Beach vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

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

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and 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 luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
