Do you have any tips for my flight to New York?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering New York in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to New York?
The trick is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to New York in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
