Cheap Flights to Sambava

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Sambava before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Sambava quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite 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-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
