How to survive the flight to Mbeya?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Mbeya could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be the goal when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mbeya?
The trick is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Mbeya in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
