Cheap Flights to Broederstroom

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Broederstroom holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Broederstroom a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
