How to survive the flight to Makunufushi?
If you’re not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Makunufushi.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makunufushi?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Makunufushi a breeze. We’ve compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
