Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Nineveh could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful 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, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
