If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Fahaheel. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
