Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Birnin Kebbi could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
