Question
Dear Sir,
I am travelling London to Nairobi. Then internally, Nairobi to Lillongwe (Malawi,Africa). Then light aircraft from Dar Es Salaam to Zanzibar.
Do you have any idea what the weight limits are, and how much hand luggage i'm allowed?
Also, i will have to take some medication and needles with me,so do i pack these in my main luggage or my hand luggage?(i won't need any of them for the journey)
Regards.
Dear Sally,
You'll need to take a look on your ticket from Dar Es Salaam to Zanzibar to check the allowed baggage. Normally it's expressed in kilos. If you need some help, I'll need to have the information regarding which airlines are involved in your itinerary.
As far as the medication is concern, since you won't need it during the flight, it's safer to keep it on the checked bag.
Best Regards,
R. Gomes
