Dress Codes
You’ll never know how hot or cold it’s going to be on the plane, so ensure everyone wears clothing that can easily be removed but avoid wool. Go for soft, breathable clothing like sweatshirts and cotton t-shirts will help you feel more relaxed and comfortable. Feet tend to swell on flights, so wear socks or bring a pair of slippers so your feet can breathe, so you want something that can be loosened, gives some support for walking and comfortable. Try to stay away from high heels or clunky boots when flying. You want shoes that are not only comfortable but can slip on and off easily so you can get through airport security.
For the rest of your journey, and depending on the nature of activities you are doing in Perth be sure to have packed a couple of pairs footwear that is comfortable yet suitable towards the vacation orientated activities. Flip-flops for the beach, boots for hikes, etc.
Check in Early
Check in early for your flight and hotel. When you check in for your flight, you will save yourself potential long waits in queues and will be able to pick the best seats available. Grab a refreshment and wait for the plane to start boarding. Take yourself a form of entertainment and get comfortable.
Checking in early can get you settled in and allow you to unwind from the trip from your flight. Depending on your flight duration and then the journey to your hotel, you may want to consider ordering a local takeaway. Ask your hotel restaurant for any recommended dishes from the local area.
Day Backpack
Whether you are planning to see Perth by cycling, take the subway, drive or walk from destination to destination, have a day bag prepared full of small necessities such as water, a small healthy snack and anything else you need. As a family, you may need a large backpack and a medium or small to cater for the little ones.
A Daypack can come in handy when you need to top up on sun cream or store gifts on trips out. If you plan the compartmental space into sections, dedicate some to supplies and water, potential purchases and the families daily equipment.
Hire Bicycles or Car Rental
If you plan to see the sights or check out numerous beaches, then why not take a gentle family stroll on a bike venture, alternatively, you could go for car hire. There is usually car rental near Perth airport, but be sure to shop around for the best deals. When renting a vehicle abroad there will need to be an identification process so be sure to carry all of your relevant documents in your day bag.
When going on vacation, there is a log of extra traveling involved and depending on the excursions or activities, always pack accordingly and wear the correct clothing.

Great tips. I always fall short when planning holidays in my home country. You always just expect things to be there or that it's easier to acquire or something weird like that.
