How to survive the flight to Asmara?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Asmara.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Asmara?
The secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Asmara in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • 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 soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There’s a chance you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
