Do you have any tips for my flight to South Alligator River?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your South Alligator River vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
  • Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to South Alligator River?
The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to South Alligator River in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
