Do you have any tips for my flight to Tubuai?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tubuai could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tubuai?
The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tubuai in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:
  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
