Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Calala Island escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
