Flights to Mayfield, Prince Edward Island from NT$4,564

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your getaway in Mayfield.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Mayfield, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, 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 trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
