If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Nanortalik.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
