How to survive the flight to Pemba?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Pemba escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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 products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Pemba?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Pemba in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
