Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Bafut escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
