How to survive the flight to Makarora?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Makarora holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makarora?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Makarora, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
