Flights to Koah, Queensland from NT$20,296

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Koah.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Koah, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
