Do you have any tips for my flight to Yirrkala?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Yirrkala could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Yirrkala?
Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Yirrkala easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
