How to survive the flight to Mota Lava?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Mota Lava could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We’ve rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mota Lava?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Mota Lava in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
