How to survive the flight to Jijiga?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Jijiga in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Jijiga?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Jijiga easy and painless. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
