Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Koulamoutou could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
