Flights to Blackheath, New South Wales from NT$3,196

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Blackheath could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Blackheath a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
