Flights to Archer, Northern Territory from NT$14,662

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Archer could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy 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 pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Archer, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
