How to survive the flight to Johnston?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Johnston in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Johnston?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Johnston in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
