Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Omarama could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
