How to survive the flight to St Bees Island?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and discovering St Bees Island in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set 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) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, 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 aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), 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 socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to St Bees Island?
The secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to St Bees Island in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
