Cheap Flights to Lugthoek from CA $68

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Lugthoek vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lugthoek before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
