Flights to Lakefield, Selwyn from NT$7,142

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Lakefield in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Lakefield quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
