We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Gambarie in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
