    Do you have any tips for my flight to Russell?

    No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Russell vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

    • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

    Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

    • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

    What to wear on a flight:

    • Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
    • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

    How to get through airport security fast when flying to Russell?

    The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Russell, here you come:

    • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
    • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
    • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
    • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
    • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
    • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
