How to survive the flight to Mindik?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Mindik in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you’ve got all the right things. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
  • Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mindik?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Mindik in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • Your 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 before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
