Flights to Scotts Creek, New South Wales from NT$35,084

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Scotts Creek. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Scotts Creek, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
