How to survive the flight to Motupiko?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Motupiko escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Motupiko?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Motupiko, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
