Flights to Owen Sound, Ontario from NT$4,431

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Owen Sound could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Owen Sound, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• 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 earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers 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 possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
