How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Cairns
Make your journey to Cairns a little easier by following these useful security tips:

  • Keep your boarding pass and travel ID in an easily accessible place. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to produce by security staff.
  • Belts, coins and mobile phones should be put in a bin for X-raying. If you enter the body scanner with these items, you’ll be instructed to turn back and remove them.
  • Laptops, digital cameras and other electronic devices must be placed in a tub to be X-rayed.
  • Flying with a favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it contains no more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear resealable plastic bag, you can keep it in your carry-on luggage.
  • Undo your shoelaces before entering the body scanner. Depending on what sort of shoes you’re wearing, security may instruct you to remove them.
  • Scissors and multi-tools are prohibited inside the plane. Pack them in your checked luggage to avoid them being confiscated at the airport security checkpoint.
