How to survive the flight to Bwindi?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your holiday in Bwindi.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels 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 appreciate it.
  • The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bwindi?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Bwindi a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
