Do you have any tips for my flight to Tanami?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tanami could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tanami?
The secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tanami in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
