How to survive the flight to Upington?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Upington in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Upington?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Upington in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
