No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Bafut escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, 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 choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
