If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Siwa.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
