Do you have any tips for my flight to Surf City?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Surf City could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Surf City?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Surf City a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. 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 laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
