Please watch the safety demonstration before<br />

Electronic devices including laptops, tablets<br />
and mobile phones may not be used during<br />
take-off and landing.<br />

Six top tips for a healthy and comfortable journey<br />
2 Wear comfortable clothing and shoes.<br />
3 Keep your circulation going by standing<br />
up and walking in the aisle when<br />
possible. Flex muscles in your feet, arms,<br />
shoulders and neck.<br />
4 Low cabin humidity on longer<br />
journeys can cause dry eyes, nose and<br />
throat. Remove contact lenses and apply<br />
“To get lost is to<br />
learn the way”<br />
– African proverb –<br />
moisturiser and lip balm. Avoid salt,<br />
drink plenty of water and moderate<br />
your intake of alcohol, tea and coffee.<br />
5 When travelling across time zones<br />
your body’s sleep rhythms can become<br />
disrupted, leading to insomnia, loss of<br />
appetite and fatigue. Try to give yourself<br />
some time to adjust to new night and<br />
day cycles when you arrive.<br />
6 On arrival spend as much time as<br />
possible outside. Sunlight helps your<br />
body to adjust to a new time zone.<br />
Seat adjustments<br />
Ensure your seat is upright for take-off and<br />
landing.<br />
Infants<br />
Baby-changing tables can be found in<br />
selected toilets. The crew will help prepare<br />
baby food. Cots are available on some flights.<br />
Inflight service<br />
A hot meal is normally served during longhaul<br />
flights. Special-diet or vegetarian meals<br />
are available when pre-ordered. There is a<br />
courtesy inflight bar service for wine, beer,<br />
spirits and soft drinks.<br />
Entertainment<br />
Seat-back entertainment featuring a range of<br />
movies and music is available on our long- and<br />
medium-haul flights. Please refer to the IFE<br />
guide in Msafiri.<br />
Take-off<br />
The aircraft climbs steeply immediately after<br />
take-off. Shortly afterwards you will hear<br />
a reduction in the engine sound, while the<br />
aircraft continues to climb. All aircraft cabins<br />
are pressurised. Due to a change in pressure<br />
during take-off and landing, some passengers<br />
may experience slight discomfort in their ears.<br />
Relieve this by swallowing, yawning or pinching<br />
the nostrils gently, while keeping lips sealed.<br />
Landing<br />
After touchdown you may hear an increase in<br />
engine noise due to the reverse thrust applied<br />
to assist braking. Remain seated until the<br />
engines are off and the doors are open.
