How to survive the flight to Onitsha?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your holiday in Onitsha.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Onitsha?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Onitsha, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • 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 such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
