How to survive the flight to Makakatana?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Makakatana in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makakatana?
The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Makakatana in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
