Do you have any tips for my flight to Matapalo?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Matapalo holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Matapalo?
The trick is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Matapalo in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:
  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
