Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
