Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tafatafa could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
