Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cata could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of 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 improve your circulation.
