Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Samoa Point holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
