Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Simee could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
