Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Humera holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
