Do you have any tips for my flight to Waima?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Waima escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Waima?
Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Waima a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
