How to survive the flight to Tennant Creek?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Tennant Creek.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tennant Creek?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Tennant Creek a pleasure. Below you’ll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
