Do you have any tips for my flight to Makalawena?

  • Wherever you’re traveling, flying can be a great experience if you come well prepared. First, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, toss in a little extra in-flight entertainment to help the time fly by. A good read and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are a couple of good options. If you plan on catching some sleep, a comfortable neck pillow and headphones will also come in handy.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on bag too. Sharps, flammables and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include knives of any sort, flares and aerosol cans. Some sporting equipment, like martial arts weapons and baseball bats, also generally can’t go in your hand luggage. Your airline’s website will have all the details about what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort before fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural fabrics as they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures can get cold on long-haul flights, so pack a pullover and always wear sneakers or enclosed shoes.
  • Consider wearing compression socks or tights to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This blood clotting condition can be caused by long periods of sitting, especially on long-distance journeys. Performing foot and leg exercises in your seat or walking around the cabin will help improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Makalawena?
Securing a cheap, last-minute flight to Makalawena is as easy as having some flexibility with your travel plans. Have some wiggle room with your flight times, travel dates and choice of carrier.
