Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Ouesso escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
