Flights to Dundee Beach, Northern Territory from NT$12,977

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dundee Beach could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Dundee Beach a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-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, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
