How to survive the flight to Russell?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Russell could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Russell?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Russell, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
