Do you have any tips for my flight to Mbala?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Mbala. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First of all, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mbala?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Mbala easy and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:
  • Keep your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
