How to survive the flight to Lae?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve made a list of handy tips that will help get your Lae escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. 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:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lae?
The secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Lae before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, 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.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
