How to survive the flight to Butare?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Butare in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • 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 inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Butare?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Butare, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
