Do you have any tips for my flight to Emakhalathini?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Emakhalathini. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Emakhalathini?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Emakhalathini, here you come:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
