How to survive the flight to Dar es Salaam?

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Dar es Salaam could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Question 10

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Dar es Salaam?

Accepted Answer

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Dar es Salaam a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
