No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Kibale escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
