How to survive the flight to Blantyre?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will get your Blantyre holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Blantyre?
The trick is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Blantyre in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport close by. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
