Do you have any tips for my flight to Johnston?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Johnston in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Johnston?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Johnston in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
