How to survive the flight to Addis Ababa?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Addis Ababa could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
  • The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Addis Ababa?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Addis Ababa, here you come:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
