Cheap Flights to Gibson Desert North

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Gibson Desert North holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

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 your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, 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:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Gibson Desert North, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
