Do you have any tips for my flight to Lizard Island?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Lizard Island. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the 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 Lizard Island?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Lizard Island, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
