No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Mushimasgali holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
