Do you have any tips for my flight to Vanimo?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Vanimo before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vanimo?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Vanimo easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:
  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
