How to survive the flight to Cape Tribulation?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Cape Tribulation.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cape Tribulation?
The secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Cape Tribulation before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also 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 greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • 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 luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
