Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cimenyan could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, 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 choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
