Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Mohamé holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
