Do you have any tips for my flight to Awassa?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Awassa vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Awassa?
Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Awassa quick and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
