How to survive the flight to Mahia?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Mahia could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mahia?
The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Mahia in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
