Question 10

How to survive the flight to Umhlanga?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Umhlanga holiday started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Umhlanga?

Accepted Answer

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Umhlanga, here you come:

First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
Travelling with your favourite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
