How to survive the flight to Melbourne?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Melbourne could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Melbourne?
Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Melbourne a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents close by. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
