Flights to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia from NT$4,135

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Lunenburg escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Lunenburg a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
