Flights to Kaimarama, Waikato from NT$19,532

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Kaimarama escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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 dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Kaimarama, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
