Flights to Vaughan, Macon from NT$11,616

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Vaughan could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Vaughan before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
