A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shute Harbour?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Shute Harbour a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:
  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
