Do you have any tips for my flight to Swakopmund?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Swakopmund in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Swakopmund?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Swakopmund in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:
  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
