How to survive the flight to Potaka?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Potaka in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Potaka?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Potaka in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
