How to survive the flight to Wau?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Wau.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don’t forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wau?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Wau a piece of cake. We’ve compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
