We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Koudougou in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
