How to survive the flight to Parkes?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Parkes escape started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Parkes?

Accepted Answer

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Parkes, here you come:

Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
