Do you have any tips for my flight to Blantyre?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Blantyre in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Blantyre?
The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Blantyre in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
