Do you have any tips for my flight to Darnley Island?

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Darnley Island could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Darnley Island?

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Darnley Island in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
It's also possible you'll be asked 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, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
