Cheap Flights to Aberdare National Park

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Aberdare National Park.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Aberdare National Park easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
