We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Xai-Xai in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Xai-Xai?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Xai-Xai a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
