Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sebokeng could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, 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:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
