Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Abakaliki could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
