If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Nekemte. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
