How to survive the flight to Makatea?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Makatea could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure 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 too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makatea?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Makatea in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
