Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Macomia could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
