Do you have any tips for my flight to Skukuza?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Skukuza vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Skukuza?
The trick is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Skukuza in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
