Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Maguhdhuvaa holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about 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 tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
