If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Bitam. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
