Question 10

How to survive the flight to Port Arthur?

Accepted Answer

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Port Arthur in no time flat.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Port Arthur?

Accepted Answer

The secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Port Arthur in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
