Flights to Porters Lake, Nova Scotia from NT$8,158

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Porters Lake escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Porters Lake, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
