How to survive the flight to Chipata?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve made a list of handy hints that will get your Chipata escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
  • Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Chipata?
Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Chipata a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
