  • A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bujumbura?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Bujumbura in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you on board.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
