Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Malu could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
