How to survive the flight to Mafia Island?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Mafia Island could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mafia Island?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Mafia Island, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
