How to survive the flight to Makemo?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and exploring Makemo in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makemo?
The secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Makemo in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
