If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Bi'r Hukir.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
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 things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
