If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Davao.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
