We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Oran before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and take a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.
