Do you have any tips for my flight to Nkhata Bay?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your holiday in Nkhata Bay. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nkhata Bay?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Nkhata Bay in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
