Flights to Brigadoon, Perth from NT$6,257

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Brigadoon vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Brigadoon a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
