Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Dangriga escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
