We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying West Mani before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
