Flights to Port-au-Saumon, La Malbaie from NT$14,462

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Port-au-Saumon vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

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, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Port-au-Saumon before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
