Flights to Yanwath, Penrith from NT$42,312

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Yanwath vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• 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 or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Yanwath before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
