Do you have any tips for my flight to Okarito?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Okarito. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Okarito?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Okarito, here you come:
  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
