Do you have any tips for my flight to Matapu?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Matapu in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Matapu?
The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Matapu in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
