Question 10

How to survive the flight to Tweed Heads?

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Tweed Heads could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tweed Heads?

Accepted Answer

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Tweed Heads a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
