We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Keswick Island in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Keswick Island?
It's all about being organized. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Keswick Island, here you come:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
