Flights to Vaughan, Macon from NT$5,728

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Vaughan vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Vaughan in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
