Do you have any tips for my flight to Picnic Bay?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Picnic Bay vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Picnic Bay?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Picnic Bay before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:
  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
