Do you have any tips for my flight to Machala?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Machala escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Machala?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Machala a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
