Do you have any tips for my flight to Merauke?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Merauke in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Merauke?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Merauke in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. 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 safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
