How to survive the flight to Popejoy?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Popejoy escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Popejoy?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Popejoy in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • 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 bulky coats or jackets. 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 gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
