How to survive the flight to Murchison?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Murchison could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Murchison?
Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Murchison a pleasure. Here are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
