How to survive the flight to Tubuai?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Tubuai could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tubuai?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Tubuai a breeze. We’ve compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • First things first. 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.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
