Do you have any tips for my flight to Gaborone?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Gaborone escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gaborone?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Gaborone a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
