Flights to One Mile, New South Wales from NT$12,482

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your One Mile escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to One Mile in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
