Do you have any tips for my flight to Beacon Bay?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Beacon Bay before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

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

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
