Do you have any tips for my flight to Butembo?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Butembo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Butembo?
It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Butembo, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy 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, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
