We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Langa in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
