Do you have any tips for my flight to The Pocket?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring The Pocket in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to The Pocket?
Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to The Pocket easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
