About Heading To

We help Australians get ready to fly: the adaptor for where you're going, a bag the airline will let on board, and the gear worth packing.

What we do

Heading To is a small, independent site for Australians travelling, around Australia or overseas. We write about three things:

  • The Plug Finder. Pick a country and see its plug and voltage, whether your Australian plugs fit, and which adaptor to pack.
  • Buying guides. We pick three products for one job. The best overall gets a teal stripe, the pick for a named job gets orange, and the best value gets gold. Then we compare them side by side.
  • Travel guides. What you can take on a plane, on domestic and international flights, from power banks to carry-on weight.

Where our facts come from

Every airline rule on the site links to the page it comes from, such as the airline's own baggage page or CASA. Each one shows the date we last checked it. Airlines change these rules, so we check them again on a set schedule.

Plug types and voltages come from one data file, checked against WorldStandards. Each country page shows the date we checked it.

We don't test products. We read each product's listing and its maker's details, then we tell you who we think it suits.

Who writes here

Two bylines appear on Heading To. Both are pen names, and each covers its own topics.

  • Kate Morrison: luggage and packing.
  • Ben Hartley: power, adaptors and travel guides.

How we make money

Our "Check price" buttons are affiliate links to Amazon Australia. If you buy something after clicking one, we may earn a commission. You pay the same price either way.

No brand pays us to pick its product. The affiliate disclosure has the details.
