We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Eikwe in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
