Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ghar El Melh could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
