If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Namaqumaqua. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
