Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Meleti could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
