Do you have any tips for my flight to Skippers?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Skippers could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Skippers?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Skippers in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:
  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
