How to survive the flight to Makassar?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Makassar escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get chilly. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makassar?
The trick is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Makassar before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of 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.
