Do you have any tips for my flight to Russell?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Russell holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Russell?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Russell before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big 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 safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
