Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Dahab could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
