Do you have any tips for my flight to Vakaru?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Vakaru escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vakaru?
The trick is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Vakaru in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:
  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
