Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Msasani Peninsula escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
