Do you have any tips for my flight to Dar es Salaam?

  • Get your trip off to a good start by being well prepared. Pack the important stuff — like travel documents, your passport and any medications you need — first. Next, think about downloading a few movies on your tablet or phone for a guiltless binge session. Or, throw in that novel you’ve been wanting to read. Lastly, a snack to nibble on and a quality neck pillow will go a long way to making the trip as comfortable as possible.
  • There’s a list of items you shouldn’t pack in your carry-on bag too. Sharps, explosives and flammables are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they can include box cutters, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Some sporting equipment, like martial arts weapons and baseball bats, are also not allowed in your hand luggage. Check your airline’s website for details about what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren’t suitable for a fashion parade. Layer up in comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are perfect for longer journeys.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Strolling up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression tights or socks also helps to lessen your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Dar es Salaam?
The key to securing a cheap last-minute flight to Dar es Salaam is to remain flexible. You can boost your chances of scoring a fantastic deal if you’re not tied to specific travel dates, flight times and carriers. Also compare the prices of flying into and out of nearby airports if that’s an option.
