Flights to Woodwark, Queensland from NT$7,847

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Woodwark vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Woodwark, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without 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-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
