How to survive the flight to Tortel?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your vacation in Tortel.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
  • The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tortel?
The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Tortel, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
