Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Musa vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
