Flights to Gloucester Tops, New South Wales from NT$21,438

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gloucester Tops could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gloucester Tops in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, 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), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
