Do you have any tips for my flight to Alert?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Alert could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alert?
It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Alert, here you come:
  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
