Do you have any tips for my flight to Minamitane?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Minamitane before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned 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. Wear layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Minamitane?
The secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Minamitane in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
