How to survive the flight to Rabaul?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Rabaul holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
  • The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rabaul?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Rabaul a breeze. We’ve compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your ID and travel documents handy. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport 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 belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
