  • You’ll need to present identification such as your passport. To avoid confusion during check-in, make sure you book your flight tickets under the same name as your government-issued ID. It’s good to have electronic copies of your travel documents too, just to be safe!
  • Bring a good book or a tablet crammed with your favorite TV shows — it’ll help to keep you occupied during your journey to Zanzibar. Or if you’d rather enjoy a snooze, a comfy eye mask will shield you from those bright cabin lights.
  • Temperatures in the cabin can change rapidly, so it’s best to dress in layers. Also consider compression socks. They can help prevent your legs from getting achy.
