Flights to Winchelsea, Victoria from NT$3,294

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Winchelsea could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want 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 hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get 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. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Winchelsea in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
