Do you have any tips for my flight to Zima?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Zima before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Zima?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Zima, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
