No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Jabat holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
