Question 9

How to survive the flight to Union Island?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Union Island holiday started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Question 10

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Union Island?

Accepted Answer

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Union Island, here you come:

Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
