If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your holiday in Chacala. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
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 bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
