Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Morrumbene holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
