Do you have any tips for my flight to Mwanza?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mwanza could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mwanza?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Mwanza, here you come:

  • Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
