Do you have any tips for my flight to Adelaide?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Adelaide. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Adelaide?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Adelaide a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy 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. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
