Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bertoua could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
