  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palmerston Island?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Palmerston Island, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
