Do you have any tips for my flight to Southern Cross?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Southern Cross holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Southern Cross?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Southern Cross in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
