Flights to Drouin, Victoria from NT$3,267

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Drouin before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Drouin in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• 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 be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
