We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Yigo in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh 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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
