Flights to Moina, Tasmania from NT$11,270

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Moina could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step 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 differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Moina a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
