  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to K'gari?
It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out K'gari, here you come:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need 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 moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
