Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Mikumi escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
