Flights to Goomeri, Queensland from NT$9,115

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Goomeri could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Goomeri, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big 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, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
