How to survive the flight to Whaletown?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Whaletown in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whaletown?
Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Whaletown quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
