How to survive the flight to Zanzibar Town?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your holiday in Zanzibar Town.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Zanzibar Town?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Zanzibar Town, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
