Do you have any tips for my flight to Waitara?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Waitara vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Waitara?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Waitara a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
