How to survive the flight to Rainbow Beach?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Rainbow Beach holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rainbow Beach?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Rainbow Beach easy and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
