How to survive the flight to Pongwe?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Pongwe could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll 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 hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Pongwe?
The trick is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Pongwe in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
