Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Eikot could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
