How to survive the flight to Empangeni?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Empangeni escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for 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:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Empangeni?
Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Empangeni easy and painless. We’ve compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
