We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Chintheche in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
