How to survive the flight to Pemba Island?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Pemba Island could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We’ve compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Pemba Island?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Pemba Island in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
