Do you have any tips for my flight to Whitsundays?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Whitsundays escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whitsundays?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Whitsundays a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
