Flights to Tura Beach, New South Wales from NT$10,528

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your vacation in Tura Beach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Tura Beach, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
