Do you have any tips for my flight to Pretoria?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Pretoria escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Pretoria?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Pretoria quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
