How to survive the flight to Cow Bay?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Cow Bay could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cow Bay?
Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Cow Bay easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Airport 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. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
