Flights to Tagish, Yukon from NT$7,988

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tagish could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tagish before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
