Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Tiebele escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
