How to survive the flight to Francistown?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Francistown could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Francistown?
It's all about being organized. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Francistown, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Traveling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
