If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Dabi. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
