Do you have any tips for my flight to Kakadu?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Kakadu. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes 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 guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kakadu?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Kakadu, here you come:
  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
