How to survive the flight to Pakawau?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Pakawau.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Pakawau?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Pakawau easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
