Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Oshakati could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
