If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Tupile. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
