How to survive the flight to Rote Island?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Rote Island holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rote Island?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Rote Island, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. 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 tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
