Flights to Fords, South Australia from NT$8,342

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fords could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more 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 opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Fords, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
