A lengthy flight can seem daunting, but it's nothing a little preparation can't solve. We've put together our top tips to make sure your journey is as comfortable as possible:

Nothing is more important than having your travel documents. Which to bring and how many depend on whether you're traveling domestic or international. Be sure to check with your airline. In both cases, you'll need to present some kind of government-issued ID.
Bring a good book or a laptop filled with your favorite TV shows — it'll help to keep you occupied on your journey to Botswana. Or if you'd prefer to take a snooze, a comfy eye mask will block out those bright cabin lights.
