Do you have any tips for my flight to Oak Island?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Oak Island in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Oak Island?
Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Oak Island a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
