Flights to Rothbury, Morpeth from NT$7,601

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Rothbury escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Rothbury in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
