Do you have any tips for my flight to Cairns?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cairns could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cairns?
It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Cairns, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
