Flights to Paeroa, Waikato from NT$11,546

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Paeroa could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Paeroa a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
