Do you have any tips for my flight to Harare?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Harare. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Harare?
It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Harare, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
