We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Kokstad before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kokstad in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
