• The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Salamumu, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, 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), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
