Do you have any tips for my flight to Lae?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Lae. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking 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 Lae?
The secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lae in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:
  • Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
