How to survive the flight to Kilwa?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kilwa could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
  • A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kilwa?
It's easy --- be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Kilwa, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
