If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your holiday in Grand-Lahou.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
