Do you have any tips for my flight to Dire Dawa?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Dire Dawa in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Dire Dawa?
It's all about being organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Dire Dawa, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
