Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Makokou escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
