We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Sumbe in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming 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 Sumbe?
It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Sumbe, here you come:

  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
