Do you have any tips for my flight to Makumbura?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Makumbura could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makumbura?
Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Makumbura a pleasure. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
