No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Hatta holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you take the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
