We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Siphofaneni before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
