Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Al Eshash could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
