Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mana could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
