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 hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Mbombela in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. 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 chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mbombela?
It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Mbombela, here you come:
  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
