Do you have any tips for my flight to Saibai Island?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Saibai Island could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Saibai Island?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Saibai Island easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
