Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Ampanihy escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
