Travel Tips for Zambia
Arriving at the Airport
Arrive at least 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international flights. Peak travel periods (holidays, weekends) may require additional time for security and check-in.
Security Screening
Follow local security regulations for carry-on items. Liquids are generally restricted to 100ml containers in a clear bag. Remove electronics and jackets before screening to speed up the process.
International Connections
If connecting through an international hub, check visa transit requirements for your nationality. Some airports offer transit hotels and lounges for long layovers.
