How to survive the flight to Umuaka?
If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your time in Umuaka.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Umuaka?
The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Umuaka, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
