We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Kontagora in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, 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 moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
