• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a 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 set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Rustenburg a breeze. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
