Do you have any tips for my flight to Tarawa?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Tarawa in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tarawa?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Tarawa a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock 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 are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
