Do you have any tips for my flight to Chipata?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Chipata in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Chipata?
The trick is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chipata in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • 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 headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
