We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Matam in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Matam?
It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Matam, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
