How to survive the flight to Machali?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Machali.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Machali?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Machali, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all 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 have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
