Do you have any tips for my flight to Mtubatuba?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Mtubatuba vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change 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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mtubatuba?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Mtubatuba a breeze. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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), zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
