Flights to Nambucca Heads, New South Wales from NT$14,405

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Nambucca Heads.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nambucca Heads in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
