Do you have any tips for my flight to East London?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of East London in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to East London?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to East London easy and painless. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the 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.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
