Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Babati holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
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 carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
