Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Isili could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
