Flights to Wulkuraka, Brisbane from NT$4,255

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Wulkuraka. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Wulkuraka in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
