Do you have any tips for my flight to Whaletown?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Whaletown escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Whaletown?
It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Whaletown, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
