Flights to Village of Acme, Alberta from NT$2,324

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Village of Acme could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Village of Acme in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
