We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Narayola before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
