Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Simao could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
