Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Abu Nakhlah could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
