How to survive the flight to East London?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be speeding through the airport and enjoying East London in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to East London?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to East London a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
