Flights to Mto wa Mbu, Lake Manyara National Park from

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Mto wa Mbu. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mto wa Mbu before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport 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 things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
