Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Port Saunders could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
