How to survive the flight to Rimatara Island?
If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Rimatara Island.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • 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 regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rimatara Island?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Rimatara Island, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
