Do you have any tips for my flight to Mackay?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mackay could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mackay?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mackay in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in 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 in the cabin.
