Flights to Ottawa, Le Sueur from NT$8,702

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Ottawa in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ottawa in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
