We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Masaka in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
