Flights to Lindell Beach, British Columbia from NT$2,078

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Lindell Beach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lindell Beach in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
