Flights to Midland, Ontario from NT$6,401

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Midland could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Midland in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
