How to survive the flight to Likoma Island?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Likoma Island.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
  • A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Likoma Island?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Likoma Island in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
