Do you have any tips for my flight to Malabe?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Malabe could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Malabe?
The secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Malabe in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
