Do you have any tips for my flight to Rainbow Beach?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Rainbow Beach in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rainbow Beach?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Rainbow Beach a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take 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), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big 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 in the cabin.
