Do you have any tips for my flight to Wakunai?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Wakunai. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wakunai?
It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Wakunai, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
