Do you have any tips for my flight to Maio?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Maio holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Maio?
It's all about being organised. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Maio, here you come:
  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
