Do you have any tips for my flight to Port Douglas?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Port Douglas escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Port Douglas?
The trick is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Port Douglas in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
