Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Chagni could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
