Do you have any tips for my flight to Principal?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Principal holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Principal?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Principal in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
