Do you have any tips for my flight to Mataba?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Mataba in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mataba?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mataba before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
