We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Chala before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
