How to survive the flight to Papaaloa?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Papaaloa could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Papaaloa?
The secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Papaaloa before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
