No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Djomani holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope 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 deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
