Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hilham could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you 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 differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
