Do you have any tips for my flight to Melbourne?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Melbourne holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Melbourne?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Melbourne quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you 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.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
