We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Medjumbe Island in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
