No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Tin Can Bay holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tin Can Bay?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Tin Can Bay, here you come:
  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
