Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Tahara escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
