If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Ako. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
