Do you have any tips for my flight to Kau?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Kau. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

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

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
