If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your getaway in Mero. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
