Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Broederstroom holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
