Flights to Greenwell Point, New South Wales from NT$7,342

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your time in Greenwell Point. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Greenwell Point, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
