Do you have any tips for my flight to Stephen Island?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Stephen Island in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Stephen Island?
It's all about being organised. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Stephen Island, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
