Do you have any tips for my flight to Mataiva?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Mataiva in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mataiva?
It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Mataiva, here you come:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
