We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Table Rock in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
