Do you have any tips for my flight to Brisbane?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy hints that will get your Brisbane holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Brisbane?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Brisbane, here you come:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
