Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips that will get your Victoria Falls holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack 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. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
