Flights to Great Strickland, Penrith from NT$43,834

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your vacation in Great Strickland. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Great Strickland easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
