How to survive the flight to Shinyanga?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Shinyanga holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shinyanga?
Being organised before your flight can make your trip to Shinyanga a pleasure. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not 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 luggage.
