Do you have any tips for my flight to The Leap?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring The Leap before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to The Leap?
Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to The Leap easy and painless. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:
  • Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
