Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Kebri Dar escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
