Do you have any tips for my flight to Matahiwi?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Matahiwi. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Matahiwi?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Matahiwi easy and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
