Do you have any tips for my flight to French Island?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring French Island before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to French Island?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out French Island, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container 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 need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
