Flights to Wedderburn, Victoria from NT$4,401

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Wedderburn. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Wedderburn a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
