Do you have any tips for my flight to Diego Garcia?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips that will get your Diego Garcia escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater 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, 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 Diego Garcia?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Diego Garcia in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
