How to survive the flight to Alotau?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Alotau.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alotau?
Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Alotau easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
