We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Axim in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
