Do you have any tips for my flight to Matola?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Matola. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Matola?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Matola in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:
  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. 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.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
