How to survive the flight to Heron Island?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Heron Island vacation started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Question 9

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Heron Island?

Accepted Answer

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Heron Island quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
