We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Kigali in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive 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 baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Kigali a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
