We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Yanga in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- You're probably aware of 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 socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
