Do you have any tips for my flight to Freetown?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Freetown. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Freetown?
The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Freetown, here you come:
  • Have your travel documents and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
