Your trip to Cairns kicks off as soon as you've finished all the security checks. We've put together a list of helpful tips and hints to ensure you get through quickly:

• Make sure your passport and boarding pass are not hard to access. You will be instructed to show them straightaway.
• You'll need to put your music on pause for a short while. Earphones and headphones need to be taken off and put in a tray to be X-rayed. The same applies to items such as coins and keys.
• All laptops must be removed from their protective carry bags and placed in a tub before X-raying.
• Traveling with a favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's no greater 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.
• Safety boots and other cumbersome shoes are often X-rayed by security personnel. Think about wearing simple sneakers instead.
• Some countries have stringent quarantine laws. Consider where you're going to and whether or not you're allowed to fly with fresh fruit and meat.
