Do you have any tips for my flight to Johannesburg?

  • Get your vacation off to a great start by being well prepared. Pack the important stuff — like your passport, travel documents and any medications you need — first. Next, think about downloading your favorite series on your tablet or phone for a guiltless binge session. Or, throw in that bestseller you’ve been eager to read. Lastly, a snack to nibble on and a neck pillow will go a long way to making the journey as comfortable as possible.
  • There’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between carriers and flight routes. Generally, avoid packing anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like razor blades, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort instead of fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural materials as they allow moisture and air to pass through and keep you cool. Cabins can get colder on longer journeys, so bring a hoodie or similar and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Consider wearing compression tights or socks to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This condition is a result of blood clotting that can be caused by prolonged periods of sitting, especially on long-haul flights. Performing leg and foot stretches in your seat or wandering around the cabin are great ways to improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Johannesburg?
The key to getting a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Johannesburg is to be flexible. You can increase your chances of landing a fantastic deal if you’re not tied to particular travel dates, flight times and airlines. Also compare the prices of flying out of and into nearby airports if that’s an option.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Johannesburg?
Most flights are free to cancel within 24 hours of making the reservation. However, some flights are non-refundable, and you may receive a flight credit from the airline to use for a future booking. For more information, please visit our Customer Service Portal.
