Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Mbabane escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
