No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Wadi Bani Khalid escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
