Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Antsohihy holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, 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. Wear layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
