Do you have any tips for my flight to Watatu?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Watatu could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Watatu?
The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Watatu, here you come:
  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
