Do you have any tips for my flight to Wakai?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Wakai in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wakai?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Wakai a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
