How to survive the flight to Chumbe Island?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your time in Chumbe Island.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Chumbe Island?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Chumbe Island, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
