Do you have any tips for my flight to Parkes?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Parkes holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance 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.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Parkes?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Parkes in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
