We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Lady Elliot Island in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lady Elliot Island?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lady Elliot Island in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:
  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
