How to survive the flight to Matina?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Matina in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Matina?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Matina a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
