How to survive the flight to Unguja?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Unguja in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Unguja?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Unguja a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Have your ID and travel documents close by. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of 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.
