If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Carrot River.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
