Do you have any tips for my flight to Lobamba?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Lobamba. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lobamba?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lobamba in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
