Flights to Tenterfield, New South Wales from NT$3,514

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Tenterfield escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tenterfield in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Have your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
