We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Ogoki in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. 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 beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
