Do you have any tips for my flight to Samarai?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Samarai could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, 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 main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Samarai?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Samarai, here you come:
  • Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
