We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Dili in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
