Flights to Four Mile Creek, Tasmania from NT$3,309

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Four Mile Creek vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Four Mile Creek, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
