Do you have any tips for my flight to Pietermaritzburg?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Pietermaritzburg in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Pietermaritzburg?
The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pietermaritzburg in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:
  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
