No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Ghanzi escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
