The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Murray Island?

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Murray Island a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
