Flights to Awaroa Bay, Tasman Region from NT$5,340

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Awaroa Bay escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Awaroa Bay a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
