• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Yenagoa a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Can’t travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
