Flights to Potato Point, New South Wales from NT$5,227

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Potato Point could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Potato Point in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
