How to survive the flight to New Britain Island?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your New Britain Island escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you’ll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to New Britain Island?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out New Britain Island, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
