Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Olhuveli could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
