Do you have any tips for my flight to Richards Bay?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Richards Bay in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Richards Bay?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Richards Bay in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
