Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Damak could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
