We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Caxito in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
