Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Walvis Bay holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
