Do you have any tips for my flight to Mbabane?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Mbabane escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mbabane?
The secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mbabane in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:
  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring 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.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
