How to survive the flight to Freetown?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and discovering Freetown before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
  • 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 clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Freetown?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Freetown in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
