Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hamiota could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
