Flights to Good Forest, New South Wales from

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Good Forest escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

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 fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume 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. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Good Forest a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
