Do you have any tips for my flight to Russell?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Russell before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Russell?
It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Russell, here you come:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
