We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Lubumbashi in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lubumbashi?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Lubumbashi, here you come:
  • Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
