Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Omboue could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
