Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Chala could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
