Do you have any tips for my flight to Gisenyi?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Gisenyi holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, 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:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gisenyi?
Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Gisenyi a breeze. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
