Flights to Ohakune, Manawatū-Whanganui from NT$36,500

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Ohakune vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Ohakune, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
