How to survive the flight to Tarawa?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Tarawa escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tarawa?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Tarawa a piece of cake. Here are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
