No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Nuweiba holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
