Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Tuki Tuki holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
