How to survive the flight to Ratua Island?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Ratua Island.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ratua Island?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Ratua Island, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
