How to survive the flight to Ouagadougou?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Ouagadougou.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ouagadougou?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Ouagadougou a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
