Do you have any tips for my flight to Cairns Bay?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Cairns Bay in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cairns Bay?
The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Cairns Bay, here you come:
  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
