How to survive the flight to Makamba?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Makamba could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makamba?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Makamba, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
