Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Babahoyo holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
