Flights to Campbelltown, Palmyra from NT$32,295

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Campbelltown vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets cool. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Campbelltown a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
