How to survive the flight to Vakaru?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Vakaru.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
  • A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vakaru?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Vakaru easy and painless. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
  • It’s also possible you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
