Flights to Deep Creek, Queensland from NT$41,990

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Deep Creek vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Deep Creek, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
