Cheap Flights to Matemwe

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Matemwe holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Matemwe a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
