Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Nkungwini could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
