We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Nsawam before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
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 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
