Do you have any tips for my flight to Best Island?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Best Island holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Best Island?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Best Island in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:
  • Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • 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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
