Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Yap could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
