No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Betania holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
