Do you have any tips for my flight to Makhosini?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Makhosini escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Makhosini?
The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Makhosini in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
