Do you have any tips for my flight to Mala?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Mala escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mala?
Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Mala quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

  • Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
