How to survive the flight to Mataking Island?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Mataking Island could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mataking Island?
Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Mataking Island a breeze. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
