Flights to New Germany, Nova Scotia from NT$6,060

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering New Germany before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to New Germany a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
