Question 10

How to survive the flight to Geelong?

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Geelong could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Geelong?

Accepted Answer

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Geelong quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items 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 need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
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 usually aren't.
Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
