Do you have any tips for my flight to Lightning Ridge?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your holiday in Lightning Ridge. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lightning Ridge?
Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Lightning Ridge a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
