Flights to Daintree, Queensland from NT$6,678

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Daintree vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Daintree a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
