Do you have any tips for my flight to Rurutu?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rurutu could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rurutu?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Rurutu before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
