Do you have any tips for my flight to Gondar?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Gondar in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gondar?
It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Gondar, here you come:
  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
