Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Matsaile could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. 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:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
