Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Asaba holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
