How to survive the flight to Thursday Island?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Thursday Island could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thursday Island?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Thursday Island easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
