Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Senaki could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
