Flights to McKenzie Bridge, Blue River from NT$7,315

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to McKenzie Bridge could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to McKenzie Bridge a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take 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-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
