Do you have any tips for my flight to Arusha?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Arusha in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Arusha?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Arusha, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
