Flights to Northam, Thabazimbi from NT$12,966

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Northam could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Northam, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
