We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Kirundo in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
