How to survive the flight to Ballina?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Ballina in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and don’t forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ballina?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Ballina, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, 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 need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
