How to survive the flight to Matatiele?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve made a list of handy tips that will get your Matatiele holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Matatiele?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Matatiele in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
