Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Nianing could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
