Do you have any tips for my flight to Merita?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy hints that will get your Merita holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Merita?
The secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Merita in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:
  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids 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 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
