Flights to Rosa Glen, Western Australia from NT$5,570

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Rosa Glen escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rosa Glen in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? 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, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
