Do you have any tips for my flight to Gambela?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Gambela in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gambela?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Gambela in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:
  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
