Do you have any tips for my flight to Hanmer Springs?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Hanmer Springs in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
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 Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Hanmer Springs?
Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Hanmer Springs easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often 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 inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
