Flights to Harris River, Western Australia from NT$8,959

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Harris River escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels 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 products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Harris River, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
