Do you have any tips for my flight to Lalibela?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lalibela could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
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 objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lalibela?
The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lalibela in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
