Flights to Donald, Victoria from NT$3,536

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Donald.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Donald a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
