Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Chimanimani escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
