Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Emalahleni holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
