Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Francistown?

  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
