Do you have any tips for my flight to Nelly Bay?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Nelly Bay vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nelly Bay?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Nelly Bay a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
