How to survive the flight to Open Bay?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and exploring Open Bay in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
  • The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Open Bay?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Open Bay, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the 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.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
