If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your holiday in Canberra. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Canberra?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Canberra, here you come:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
