• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Matola in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents at hand. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
