Do you have any tips for my flight to Chumbe Island?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Chumbe Island before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Chumbe Island?
It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Chumbe Island, here you come:

  • Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
