How to survive the flight to Brightwater?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well organised. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Brightwater holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, 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 Brightwater?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Brightwater in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky 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 safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
