No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Ulukisla holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination 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 luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
