Do you have any tips for my flight to Bishoftu?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bishoftu could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bishoftu?
The secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bishoftu in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
  • 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 the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
