How to survive the flight to Melbourne?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Melbourne in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Melbourne?
The trick is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Melbourne in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
