Do you have any tips for my flight to Ballina?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your holiday in Ballina. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ballina?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Ballina easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
