How to survive the flight to Papanoa?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Papanoa escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Papanoa?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Papanoa before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
