A lengthy flight can be daunting, but it’s nothing a little preparation can’t solve. We’ve put together our top tips to ensure your journey is a smooth one:

  • Nothing is more important than your travel documents. Which to bring and how many depend on whether you’re traveling international or domestic. Be sure to check with your airline. In both cases, you’ll need to present some kind of government-issued ID.
  • If you’re jetting directly to Zanzibar Town, it’s likely you’re going to be airborne for quite some time. Take some snacks and entertainment to keep you busy. Now is a fantastic time to get stuck into that novel you’ve haven’t finished!
  • Long-haul trips can get very cold, especially if you’re flying throughout the night. If you’d rather not shiver in your seat, pack an extra layer and some wool socks.
