How to survive the flight to Lubumbashi?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Lubumbashi.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lubumbashi?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Lubumbashi quick and painless. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
