How to survive the flight to Durban?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Durban before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Durban?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Durban, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
