How to survive the flight to Vanimo?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Vanimo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you’ve got all the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vanimo?
The trick is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Vanimo in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
