Do you have any tips for my flight to Rural Retreat?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will get your Rural Retreat escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rural Retreat?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Rural Retreat, here you come:
  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
