How to survive the flight to Chwaka?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Chwaka escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Chwaka?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chwaka in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:
  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger 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.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
