How to survive the flight to Lightning Ridge?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Lightning Ridge could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lightning Ridge?
Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Lightning Ridge a breeze. We’ve rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Can’t travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
