Do you have any tips for my flight to Ruatoria?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ruatoria could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ruatoria?
The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ruatoria before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
