How to survive the flight to East Cape?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to East Cape could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to East Cape?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out East Cape, here you come:

  • Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
