Flights to Taylors Beach, New South Wales from NT$20,910

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Taylors Beach could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Taylors Beach in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, 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), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
