We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Yaren in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
