How to survive the flight to Mbala?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Mbala.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
  • A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mbala?
The answer is --- be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Mbala, here you come:
  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), 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 heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
