Do you have any tips for my flight to Cooktown?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Cooktown. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cooktown?
Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Cooktown easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
