Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lenakel could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
