Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ramokgwebana could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean 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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
 
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
 - The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
