Do you have any tips for my flight to Lake Okataina?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Lake Okataina in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of 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 promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lake Okataina?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Lake Okataina, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
