Do you have any tips for my flight to Lubumbashi?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Lubumbashi escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lubumbashi?
Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Lubumbashi a breeze. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
