How to survive the flight to Russell?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Russell could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Russell?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Russell before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
