We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Bouna in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
