How to survive the flight to Mbabane?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Mbabane escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you’ll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature 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 for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mbabane?
Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Mbabane a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need 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 before you know it.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
