Do you have any tips for my flight to Rabaul?

  • What you pack in your hand luggage can be the difference between a comfortable flight, and a not-so-great one. Start with the essentials, such as your passport (or a valid ID) and your travel documents. Once they’re safely packed, put in any medications you might need. Next, think about comfort. A quality neck pillow, earplugs and a novel will help the hours fly by while you’re in the air.
  • There’s a list of items you should not pack in your carry-on too. Flammables, sharps and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they can include razor blades, box cutters, flares and aerosol cans. Some sporting equipment, such as baseball bats and martial arts weapons like nunchucks, are also not allowed in your hand luggage. Your airline’s website will have a full list of what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren’t suitable for a fashion show. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a pullover as it can get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Sneakers or enclosed, flat shoes are ideal for longer journeys.
  • Lessen your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for long periods of time, by regularly walking around the cabin. Alternatively, do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, think about wearing compression socks or tights.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Rabaul?
If you want to grab a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Rabaul, flexibility is important. If you can, have a bit of wiggle room with the dates you plan to travel. It also pays to have a bit of flexibility with your arrival and departure airports, choice of carrier, flight times and possible layovers or stops.
