Do you have any tips for my flight to Makunufushi?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Makunufushi could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makunufushi?
It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Makunufushi, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
