Do you have any tips for my flight to Mareeba?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Mareeba holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mareeba?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mareeba in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • 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.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
