How to survive the flight to Hornby Island?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re prepared. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Hornby Island holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, 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 main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Hornby Island?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Hornby Island a piece of cake. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must 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 passing through security. Boots and other heavy 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
