How to survive the flight to Johannesburg?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your holiday in Johannesburg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Johannesburg?
It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Johannesburg, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
