Do you have any tips for my flight to Gold Coast Central?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Gold Coast Central in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gold Coast Central?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Gold Coast Central, here you come:
  • Have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
