We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Weipa in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Weipa?
It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Weipa, here you come:
  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
