Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Al-Fujairah could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
