Flights to Rossland, British Columbia from NT$34,829

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your time in Rossland.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Rossland a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
