Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Al Kamil could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
