Do you have any tips for my flight to Kinshasa?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Kinshasa in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kinshasa?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Kinshasa a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. 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 allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
