Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Dhigurah could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more 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 comfy clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged 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 promote better circulation.
