Do you have any tips for my flight to Mwanza?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Mwanza before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mwanza?
It's all about being organised. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Mwanza, here you come:

  • Have your ID and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
