Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hafr Al Batin could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
