No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Annaba holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
