Flights to Blackwall, New South Wales from NT$3,279

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Blackwall could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

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

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
