How to survive the flight to Mbarara?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Mbarara.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mbarara?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Mbarara in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
