Flights to Sainte-Adele, Quebec from NT$8,168

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Sainte-Adele vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sainte-Adele in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• 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 in the cabin.
