Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Ayampe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans 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:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
