Do you have any tips for my flight to Oakura?
If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Oakura. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Oakura?
The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Oakura, here you come:

  • Have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
