Do you have any tips for my flight to Gillies Bay?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gillies Bay could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gillies Bay?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Gillies Bay, here you come:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
