If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in Houailou. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
