How to survive the flight to Takapoto?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Takapoto could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Takapoto?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Takapoto quick and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually 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.
  • There’s a chance you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
