Do you have any tips for my flight to Kolombangara Island?

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Kolombangara Island escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kolombangara Island?

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Kolombangara Island a pleasure. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
