We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Manguzi in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
