Do you have any tips for my flight to Bulawayo?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Bulawayo in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bulawayo?
Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Bulawayo quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
  • Want to bring along 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 clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
