Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Assa could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
