Flights to Lamington, Queensland from NT$6,352

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lamington could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Lamington, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
