Do you have any tips for my flight to Zanzibar Town?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Zanzibar Town. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, 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 clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

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

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail 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-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
