Do you have any tips for my flight to Rukara?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Rukara in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rukara?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rukara in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:
  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
