Flights to Cape Otway, Victoria from NT$10,988

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Cape Otway before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, 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 number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Cape Otway, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
