Tips for short-haul flights to Maryborough

  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when traveling with budget airlines, it's often more economical to bring just a carry-on. Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating outfits effectively. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself occupied, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time and consider bringing a book. Remember to charge your devices fully before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's wise to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

Some airlines may provide the option for seat selection even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that you can easily access.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to align your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to fit your destination's time zone. Try to either sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival to help minimize jet lag.
