We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Toba in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
