Do you have any tips for my flight to Tanga?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Tanga in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tanga?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Tanga a breeze. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
