Question 10

How to survive the flight to Darwin?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Darwin escape started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Darwin?

Accepted Answer

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Darwin, here you come:

First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
