Flights to Lima South, Victoria from NT$12,260

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lima South could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Lima South a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a 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 passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
