Flights to Mitta Mitta, Victoria from NT$47,008

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Mitta Mitta. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mitta Mitta in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
