Do you have any tips for my flight to Rainbow?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Rainbow escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

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

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
