Do you have any tips for my flight to Cape Hillsborough?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your holiday in Cape Hillsborough. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change 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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cape Hillsborough?
Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Cape Hillsborough a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
