How to survive the flight to Chigumula?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Chigumula.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Chigumula?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Chigumula, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
