We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Njombe before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended 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.
