How to survive the flight to Rwanda?
If you’re not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Rwanda.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rwanda?
Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Rwanda a pleasure. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
