Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Shama could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
