Do you have any tips for my flight to Kiritimati?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Kiritimati in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kiritimati?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Kiritimati a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:
  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
