Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Bekopaka escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
