We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Jaluit in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
