Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Sir Bani Yas Island escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
