How to survive the flight to Bulawayo?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your time in Bulawayo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bulawayo?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Bulawayo, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
