How to survive the flight to Mataiva?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Mataiva.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mataiva?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Mataiva, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
