How to survive the flight to Richards Bay?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Richards Bay escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Richards Bay?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Richards Bay, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items like knives can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
