How to survive the flight to Pongola?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Pongola could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Pongola?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Pongola, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a chance 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 items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
