Do you have any tips for my flight to Dar es Salaam?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Dar es Salaam could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Dar es Salaam?
The trick is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Dar es Salaam in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:
  • Have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers 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, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
