No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Ejigbo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
