Flights to Te Puru, Waikato from NT$12,071

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Te Puru in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Te Puru, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
