Do you have any tips for my flight to Bloemfontein?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Bloemfontein in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bloemfontein?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Bloemfontein, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
