How to survive the flight to Makalawena?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Makalawena in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makalawena?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Makalawena in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
