If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Eket.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
