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

  • First, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, 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 Machchafushi?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Machchafushi a pleasure. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
