No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Drakensberg Gardens holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Drakensberg Gardens?
Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Drakensberg Gardens a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
