Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Matlerekeng could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
