How to survive the flight to Dakar?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Dakar in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Dakar?
The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Dakar in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
