Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Sibasa vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
