How to survive the flight to Nuku'alofa?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Nuku’alofa.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nuku'alofa?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Nuku’alofa, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually 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 safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
