Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Nobsa could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
