Do you have any tips for my flight to Rarotonga?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Rarotonga. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rarotonga?
It's all about being organised. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Rarotonga, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
