How to survive the flight to Buka Island?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Buka Island could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Buka Island?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Buka Island before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • 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). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
