How to survive the flight to Matemo Island?
If you’re poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Matemo Island.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Matemo Island?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Matemo Island in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
