We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Iwokrama Forest in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
