Do you have any tips for my flight to Thyolo?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Thyolo before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thyolo?
Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Thyolo a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually 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 in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
