Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Osogbo could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
