How to survive the flight to Cardwell?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Cardwell could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cardwell?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Cardwell, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
