We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Harare East in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Harare East?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Harare East in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
