Do you have any tips for my flight to Makemo?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Makemo could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makemo?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Makemo in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
