Do you have any tips for my flight to Mekane Selam?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Mekane Selam. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mekane Selam?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Mekane Selam quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
