Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fontein could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
