We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Ondangwa before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
